By THIS shall all men KNOW that YOU are My DISCIPLES, if YOU have LOVE one to another (John 13:35)… When we look throughout the church world and the Body of Christ, can we HONESTLY say that the WORLD around us KNOWS that WE are Jesus’ DISCIPLES by the LOVE we DISPLAY to one another, let alone to THEM? For are we not DIVIDED amongst ourselves by DENOMINATIONS, FACTIONS, DOCTRINES, TRADITIONS, and personal AGENDAS? Do we not DISCRIMINATE, SEGREGATE, and practice PREJUDICE towards one another? If in fact we’re GUILTY of any, or ALL, of these things, HOW can the WORLD ever be made to BELIEVE that we’re the DISCIPLES of Christ and be CONVERTED, when Christ Himself NEVER PROMOTED any of these things? Isn’t the WORLD of the UNGODLY and SINNERS practicing these SINFUL and EVIL TRAITS amongst themselves? Then if WE do the SAME as they do, HOW can we CLAIM or PROCLAIM that Christ TRULY lives in us and that WE belong to Him? When you look at your brothers and sisters in the church CLAIMING Christ, do you SEE them DISPLAYING any REAL Christ LOVE with each other? What about YOU – when people SEE you, do they say, “There’s one of Jesus’ DISCIPLES because they just LOVE on people all the time?” I sometimes hear Christians say, “The way you LIVE is a WITNESS for Jesus.” If this is TRUE, can YOU say the WORLD around you KNOWS that you’re Jesus’ DISCIPLE? Or are you just a CHURCHGOER faking the GAME?
